Carlos Jaime the works are going as scheduled, with the Namibe pavilion for about three million seats in a more advanced stage than that of Luanda (12,000 seats).

He said both will be ready by July this year.

On the other hand, the official said a third pavilion is being built in northern Malanje province, to host the Jose Educardo dos Santos Interantiional Tournament from August 19-25.
